Pixel Pulse Radio is the World’s #1 Stepfather-Son-Video-Game Podcast! Catch the weekly shenanigans of stepfather-son duo, Brandon Wilson and Alex Van Aken, as they beam their handsome faces through space to talk, yell, and cry with each other about video games, their lives, and anything else they deem interesting or noteworthy.
This wouldn’t be the World’s #1 Stepfather-Son-Video-Game Podcast (we have a plaque) if there wasn’t some sort of attraction. Besides Alex’s fantastic jokes or Brandon’s model-like physique, you can look forward to an inclusive community, amazing guests, in-depth industry interviews, contests/giveaways, and oh-so much more. Seriously, we are pulling out all the stops.
